I Trust Him

Ah, what can I say about 'darling Rich'.......He lights up my Tuesday evenings, and my Saturday mornings!
It's only half hour - 40 mins, and goes by like a flash. After a session with Rich I feel like my batteries have been charged...
He's such a nice guy, gives me advice, guidance and plenty of encouragement. His daily e mails are informative and fun. I have learned about nutrition and fitness. He has a wealth of knowledge.
What I particularly like is that I feel comfortable in his gym...and I trust him. He has helped me reach my goals.

Richard Helped In So Many Ways

Richard helped me in so many ways, even though I had many ailments, he helped me to believe in myself, weight loss, his recipes are delicious, didn't feel like I was on a diet, just healthy eating, but most of all Richard is very inspiring and often if I was having a bad day you could guarantee I would walk out of the gym smiling. Thank you Richard x

She Had Lost Her Way

I had lost my way training wise after the death of my beloved older brother and was struggling with stress and anxiety. I joined one of Richards groups and...I haven’t looked back since. I feel fitter and happier than I have in a long time and I’ve also lost inches and pounds.
What I really love about Rich is he says it like it is and he cares for his clients. I can be a bit “gung ho” when it comes to training and Rich reins that in to make sure I stay fit and uninjured. Richard has changed my life for the better and that’s no exaggeration.

Taking Less Medication

Started with Rich around 10 weeks ago, during that time and by following his advice I have lost over 3 stone(42lbs)!! Having had arthritis for very many years which resulted in a double knee replacement and taking a ridiculous amount of tablets daily for this condition I am now taking a fraction of the amount prescribed by my G.P. My G.P. can’t get over the change and is very impressed. I would certainly recommend Richard to anyone.

Not Confident After Knee Injury

You helped me a great deal after my knee injury as I was not confident in doing any exercise incase I aggravated the injury. The exercise plan you did for me was great, very simple but effective. You were also very encouraging and very good at motivating me. Thanks

Motivational

Motivational, inspirational, encouraging, knowledgeable, caring, fun loving, thought provoking are just a few of the words I would use to describe the huge personality that is Richard Clarke. If you decide to follow his advice you just can't go wrong. Cynthia Davies

The Greatest Bit Is Me

Having been quite seriously ill and knowing a few of the girls who have been supported by Rich, it has taken my nearly two years to join his program. (Due to ill health)

I am just coming up to my first twelve weeks, have lost weight, changed body shape but the greatest bit is me! How I feel and my mindset. Having been in a wheelchair back in October. I am back to my old self ...and have never felt happier than I do at the minute. My sessions with Richard are ...my treatment to save my life whilst having fun, through hard work with the great support from Richard covering what to eat, how to exercise tailored specifically to me. He even listens when I am I want to let off steam! What more could you ask for...

Fantastic!

Fantastic…I'm inspired as with all your emails

Following Motorcycle Accident

Following a motorcycle accident, Richard Clarke sped up my recovery by taking me through a rehabilitation programme. Impressed with his professionalism and knowledge, I then took part in several 3 month fitness programmes...looking back, one of the biggest benefits was how Richard analysed my diet and changed it for the good...this knowledge is priceless. Thanks Richard.

My Son is a Sexist! [Exercise Video’s]

Just a relatively short post this week, nothing too deep.

Just a few home videos (not that kind). The kind where my wife, my son and I all have a go at doing an exercise routine, plus try to teach you a few things in the process.

Not sure we have achieved the latter, but it’s worth a watch just for a laugh at what us “Clarke’s” get up to out our back garden.

If you can’t do pull ups then this video will help you. I teamed up with a sexist batman, (and before you say, he didn’t get it from me) batman will show you how you can build your way up to a full pull up.

Pull ups are one of the most difficult exercises you can do. It develops strength and endurance and works pretty much every muscle in your upper body so it is a great move to have in your training armory.

As I mentioned if you aren’t quite there yet then start by using a resistance band and slowly work it up to full pull ups. Or try a lat pull down.

Exercise video 2 is with my wife Ellie and is for all the ladies who are aiming to get a flatter stomach, although the exercise is still great for men too.

This is an abdominal exercise being demonstrated by my wife to show how you can keep a flat stomach after two kids.

Okay so the final exercise is aimed more at the men and it does contain some VERY tough exercises, if you can’t do these particular exercises then alternative ones are mentioned.

So if you are looking for a short powerful workout to boost your upper body strength then give this one a shot.

So there are the three videos I hope you have enjoyed and found them useful.

To be honest, seeing your feedback from the survey, I need to do more videos for over 40’s and 50’s – beginners level.

Leave it with me guys, there will be lots more coming soon.

If you have missed any of the articles recently then here is a quick recap of the articles from the last month for you to catch up:

Once again I want to say thank you for those of you who that took part in my survey last week and responded. 100% of the people so far would recommend my blog to someone else, but that is no excuse to relax and take it easy so I’m going to keep on pushing and try to improve it constantly. I couldn’t have done any of it without you.

For those of you who haven’t done it and would like to have your say then here it is:

It takes less than 2 minutes and it will help to improve the quality of the content you read every week.

Thanks for reading,

Richard Clarke
